Inside the Black Tortoise Seven-Star Formation, Tiger Venerable and the others were overjoyed to see Fang Ling arrive.
But worry immediately crept in, for something about the situation seemed strange.
"The church leader came alone. He could be in danger," Python Venerable said gravely.
"If things go wrong, we'll charge out immediately and support him."
Mister Mo and the others who were seeing Fang Ling for the first time felt even less certain.
Meanwhile, the experts among the Six Harmonies Sect's army had also noticed Fang Ling.
For a moment, they failed to react. The sight was simply too bizarre.
A youth whose cultivation they could not fathom actually dared to hover above their army of three hundred thousand.
At the rear of the army, the seductive woman who had been reclining on a fragrant bed abruptly sat up and reached out to draw aside the curtains.
Though she could not sense Fang Ling's cultivation, she caught an extraordinarily delicious scent coming from him!
"Exquisite! Absolutely exquisite!" Her entire body trembled with excitement.
"No one is to make a move!" she cried, afraid that some blind fool might accidentally kill this young man.
"Who is this guy?" Li Tiange scratched his head in bewilderment. He hated this feeling of one unexpected turn after another.
In midair, Fang Ling suddenly moved.
He pressed his palms together before his chest, forming the Buddhist Palms-Together Seal.
At the same time, a golden Buddhist Wheel appeared behind him. "Sarami Heaven!"
This was the Buddhist Great Divine Ability the White-Browed Old Monk had taught him.
Once unleashed, it could enclose a certain area within a barrier.
The space within the barrier was called the Sarami Realm.
Once the barrier formed, those inside could not leave, and those outside could not enter.
The Sarami Realm was completely independent, becoming a second world unto itself!
Realizing they were trapped inside the barrier, the Six Harmonies Sect's disciples began to panic.
Li Tiange's expression changed dramatically. He stared at Fang Ling in horror. "He's so young, yet he possesses a divine ability like this!"
"Who in the world is he?"
"He seems connected to Buddhism. Could he have come to stop the slaughter?"
At the rear of the army, the seductive woman flew up in disheveled clothes, walking barefoot through the air.
"What a lovely body you have, little brother. Come let your big sister shower you with affection!"
Fang Ling's body was simply too tempting to her. She could no longer restrain herself.
Pink spiritual energy erupted from her body, transforming into chains that swept toward Fang Ling to bind him.
The Buddhist Wheel behind Fang Ling dispersed, and his Life-Bound Blood Sword condensed in his hand.
He slashed, destroying the seductive woman's chains with the irresistible force of crushing rotten wood and sweeping away withered leaves.
The sword's power did not diminish. It went straight on to cleave the seductive woman in two at the waist!
"Venerable Envoy!" Li Tiange cried in horror, his scalp prickling.
The seductive woman had been at the peak of the Heavenly Balance Realm.
With such cultivation, she had virtually no rivals in the Southern Sun Kingdom.
Yet now, before everyone's eyes, this mysterious young man who had suddenly appeared had killed her with a single slash!
The army of three hundred thousand instantly descended into chaos, attacking the barrier like mad.
But even after using every means at their disposal, they could not shake it in the slightest.
Faced with life and death, Li Tiange instead grew calm and flew above the army.
"Don't be afraid! There's only one of him, and three hundred thousand of us!"
"With so many of us, he can't kill everyone! We can wear him down to death!"
"We can't get out anyway, so fight him with everything you have!" Li Tiange shouted fervently.
But the next instant, Fang Ling severed his head, and blood gushed wildly from his neck.
Though Li Tiange had been beheaded in an instant, the Six Harmonies Sect's disciples began to fight back.
A trapped beast would still fight; a desperate enemy should never be pressed too hard. This was precisely why.
Creatures driven into a hopeless corner, with no path of retreat, would unleash all their potential and fight to the death.
Each of them silently prayed that they would be the lucky one who survived until Fang Ling was worn down and killed.
Fang Ling gazed impassively at the army of cultivators charging toward him, then calmly raised his sword and went to meet them...
Inside the Black Tortoise Seven-Star Formation, Tiger Venerable and the others exchanged bewildered looks.
None of them had expected Fang Ling to suddenly create a barrier, trapping himself inside with every enemy.
Just then, a demonic beast radiating a terrifying aura approached through the air.
It was the Netherworld Beast, with Yun Shuiqing and Dou Qin riding on its back.
Seeing Yun Shuiqing return, Mister Mo immediately opened a gap in the defensive formation to let them in.
"Enchantment Envoy, what exactly is the church leader planning?" Tiger Venerable hurriedly asked.
"Why did he suddenly create a barrier like that?"
Yun Shuiqing gave a bitter smile and shook her head. "I don't know either..."
"All we can do now is recover our strength and prepare to support him."
"This is my friend, and the church leader's friend as well-Physician Dou, Dou Qin. I'm sure you've heard of her."
"Have our wounded brothers come over quickly. She'll help treat their injuries."
"So you're the renowned Fairy Dou! Thank you for coming to treat the members of our Heavenly Net Church!" Mister Mo and the others hastily expressed their gratitude.
"Treating illness and saving lives is a physician's duty. There's no need to stand on ceremony," Dou Qin said mildly.
Inside the Sarami Realm, the world had already turned blood-red.
With only himself and his sword, Fang Ling slaughtered his way through the army of three hundred thousand, sending men and mounts tumbling.
His body was far too powerful. No matter how they attacked, they could not hurt him in the slightest.
In his hands, the army of three hundred thousand seemed like three hundred thousand ants.
"You demon! I'll fight you to the death!" Many had already gone mad and lost all reason.
Others lay against the boundary of Sarami Heaven, smashing their heads against the barrier with all their might until they battered themselves to death...
Fang Ling was drenched entirely in blood, and his eyes grew ever more excited.
In just the time it took an incense stick to burn, all three hundred thousand had been slaughtered.
He planted his Life-Bound Blood Sword in the ground, letting it absorb the blood baleful energy of those three hundred thousand people.
The Blood Sword drank greedily. Fang Ling could feel its excitement, its jubilant delight.
From the moment it was born, it had been destined to become a sword of terrible slaughter.
Then Fang Ling tilted his head back and opened his mouth.
He inhaled forcefully. The Life Origin of three hundred thousand people rose and streamed away, forming a galaxy that flowed into his mouth to be devoured.
The Life Origin of three hundred thousand cultivators was a rare and potent nourishment even for him.
They made his already terrifying body even more fearsome.
After a long while, he finished refining the Life Origin of all three hundred thousand, turning it into nourishment for himself.
He tried throwing a punch forward.
The sound of that punch tearing through the air was like thunder rumbling through the nine heavens, brimming with explosive force.
Its power was so great that even the stable space around him visibly rippled.
"My physical strength has reached the Vibration Realm that my barbarian master spoke of!" Fang Ling murmured in delighted surprise.
"I've barely met the requirements to cultivate the third level of the Galaxy Boundless Fist!"
Meanwhile, the Blood Sword had also finished devouring the blood baleful energy of those three hundred thousand people.
This vicious sword finally revealed its true form, its blade wreathed in terrifying killing intent.
The killing intent carried by the sword alone was enough to shred weaker people to death.
At this moment, nothing remained within the Sarami Realm apart from Fang Ling and white bones strewn across the ground.
They had become white bones because he had pushed the Taotie Divine Art to its utmost.
At its utmost, the Taotie Divine Art drained everything far too thoroughly.
Even the husks of flesh that would have remained before were now gone.
The bones were merely empty dregs, containing nothing anymore.
This made things easier. Corpses with skin still clinging to their bones looked bizarre, whereas bare white bones seemed less out of place.
After all, many demonic arts would also turn corpses into white bones in an instant after killing someone. There was nothing strange about it.
This saved him the time of cleaning up the battlefield.
